Strangers can spot 'kindness' gene: study - Yahoo! News
This is something I've been wondering about a lot lately. Christians vs atheists, gays vs straights, left-handed vs right, conservatives vs liberals. Mindsets. We think how we think, we feel as we feel, and there is no means to change it because it's hard-wired.
People with a certain gene trait are known to be more kind and caring than people without it, and strangers can quickly tell the difference, according to US research published on Monday.
The variation is linked to the body's receptor gene of oxytocin, sometimes called the "love hormone" because it often manifests during sex and promotes bonding, empathy and other social behaviors.
